The Heroine Had An Affair With My Fiance - Chapter 8

Chapter 2

Episode 8

(3rd person pov)

‘Rema’, a salon located in the center of the capital, was a place where children of famous families gathered and interacted.

Even a countess could enter only if they were supported by fame or financial resources.

“Oh my, lady! It’s a necklace I’ve never seen before… Oh my god, look at this brilliance! Excuse me, but may I know where you got it from?”

“This time I bought a wonderful stallion. Maybe there will be a newborn by the end of the year somehow.”

“There are rumors that the second prince will officially enter the social world soon. Is that true?”

In the hall decorated with expensive objects, young aristocrats, dressed in gorgeous clothes, were having conversations.

From gossips with no nutritional value to unfounded lies, to important real information that everyone should open their ears to.

Various stories floated in the air. It was the ability of each of them to distinguish between the lies and the truth.

“Did you hear that?”

A group of young girls sat around a round table near a wall of the salon.

A lady, who was leading the conversation with her sky-blue fan fluttering, folded the fan. Then she rolled her eyes and brought out an interesting story.

“I heard that the Young Master of Essit has a new girlfriend.”

“Well, has it only been a day or two?”

Another lady, who was sitting opposite of her, spoke with a sign of disinterest.

That was because Essit was a wealthy family that didn’t meet Rema’s standards, and the successor, Duval Esitt, was already famous for his womanizer side.

“Oh my gosh, listen!”

The lady with the sky-blue fan, who was suddenly lost in conversation, trembled and made an uplifting expression.

“That new lover, well…”

It was around that time that the bell on the door rang clearly.

The lady of the sky blue fan, who stopped her words, looked up.

As soon as she saw someone coming into the salon, she lowered her voice and whispered to the girls around her, ‘look over there!’.

Whoever it was, the curious eyes of the young girls reached one place. And their eyes widened.

“Thank you for taking me.”

“I’m flattered.”

The person who lightly kissed the back of the lady’s hand who just walked in was definitely Duval Essit. But who was the girl who got a kiss on the back of the hand?

Surprisingly, it wasn’t Duval’s fiancee, Ciela Labyrinth.

“It would be nice to be able to…”

It was Tyrael Puritina, the illegitimate child of Count Puritina, whom Ciela Labyrinth was with so much.

In the strange atmosphere that surrounded the two, the onlookers reflexively checked their surroundings.

The person they were looking for, Ciel, was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, Tyrael, who was regretting her parting with him, fell into Duval’s arms.

The young girls who were watching gasped silently. Maybe she was Young Master Essit’s new lover?

‘Nonsense.’

‘Unless you go crazy.’

‘Are you crazy?’

Everyone who saw the scene thought the same thing.

No matter how much she grew up with the ability to purify, the illegitimate child, Tyrael, who came from a slum, was rejected by the aristocratic society.

Everyone was terrified at the thought of how much Ciela was around Tyrael like that.

It was then.

“Starting here today… I’ll do it. Then… It will be over.”

Through the open door, a familiar voice flew in their ears. It sounded like it was coming to this place through the salon hallway.

The young girls stopped breathing without realizing it.

Various emotions such as sadness and absurdity, interest and curiosity, dominated their heads as they vividly pictured what was about to happen.

Soon the master of the voice appeared at the door.

The young girls, who were expecting a certain tragedy, had to swallow their breath again for unexpected reasons.

‘What…’

‘Who is it?’

The one who appeared at the door was Ciela Labyrinth, as everyone expected.

She doesn’t like to be noticed, so she doesn’t show up at the salon at all unless she’s with Tyrael.

But the young girls were not surprised by that.

‘He’s…’

‘Handsome!’

‘What are they doing?’

An unidentified blond man was seen escorting Ciela.

They thought he was a cool-looking handsome man, but the moment he smiled at Ciela, he gave the impression of a gentle puppy. 

The mouths of the young girls, startled by this situation, opened wide. Isn’t he really like the man in a romance novel, ‘cold to others, but kind to his lover’?

“Miss Puritina, I’ll come back in time for the…”

Duval’s voice, which was comforting Tyrael, who was saddened by their separation, faltered for an instant. They had just discovered Ciela and the blonde man.

His expression hardened. Like someone who has deprived something of his.

“…”

Ciela, seeing Tyrael and Duval a minute late, blinked her eyes indifferently.

It didn’t seem like she was shocked by their appearance.

The onlooker girls watched Ciela’s reaction to witnessing the affair between her best friend and her fiancée eagerly as they peeked over their fans.

However, contrary to the expectations of the young girls, it seemed that it was Duval who was more shocked.

Duval, who had been frozen for a while, licked his lips.

“You…”

“I’ll come pick you up when I’m done.”

The blond man kissed the back of Ciela’s hand before Duval could continue.

The young girls were silently astonished.

Silently nodding her head, Ciela glanced at Tyrael and Duval. Then, casually, she went inside.

After saying goodbye, the blonde man went straight back. Tyrael, who had a somewhat blushed face, followed the blonde man with her eyes.

Duval, who was staring at him as if to kill him, shot a look at Ciela, saw Tyrael off, and hurriedly left.

‘What the hell is this?’

‘What happened?’

Curiosity soared to the top of their heads at the unusual situation. The girls stared at Ciela as she moved, forgetting that it was rude.

Then they sneaked up to her to add a word.

“Hello.”

Seeing the young girls approaching, Ciela smiled faintly.

One of the young girls, who was weary of Ciela who seemed to have a story, asked cautiously.

“What happened?”

“Just… It’s how it looks.”

Ciela, who answered softly, lowered her eyelids. Then it overlapped with her usual fragile image, making it more difficult to ask her.

‘Well, well.’

The young girls, who understood the situation on their own, clicked their tongues inwardly. That filthy bastard made another mess. It also happened to her best friend, so how deceived she must have felt.

The girls were not usually close to Ciela, but their feelings were the same.

So they comforted Ciela with sincerity.

“Hey, Ciela…”

Then, when they saw Tyrael approaching with a smirk, they became one mind and made an impression on her.

“Hmm.”

“She shouldn’t be noticed.”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t have come here. Who made it possible for her to enter this place?”

They didn’t pinpoint who they were talking about, but their target was clear. The young ladies did not hide their sharp accusations.

At the end of their continuous criticism, Tyrael left the room alone, unable to utter her words.

~*~

From that day on, Ciela’s unconventional steps began. The only man she was known to be with was Duval, but now, wherever she went, she was always with a blond man.

The noble girls paid attention to Ciela’s move.

They noted that the blonde man Ciela was with was very handsome, but it was more fun because Duval and Tyrael’s behavior was absurd while watching them.

Until now, Duvall had not paid a wink of attention to his fiance to the extent that it was pitiful.

However, from the moment Ciela started appearing with the blonde man, he began to become conscious of her.

Tyrael was next to him, but Duval was obviously uncomfortable seeing the blonde man next to Ciel.

Anyone could see that those were the eyes of wanting to chase after them.

Meanwhile, Tyrael was anxious to speak to Ciela, and she blushed whenever she saw the blonde man, firmly helping to kindle the fire to onlookers’ delight.

‘What is this?’

‘Triangle- No, is it a quadrilateral relationship?’

However, Ciela and the blonde man didn’t really care about Duval and Tyrael.

When Duval approached to talk to them, they would naturally leave.

‘What the hell is this?’

‘Anyway, what the hell is the relationship between Ciela and that blonde man?’

“What is the relationship between you two?”

One day, a courageous young girl asked Ciela directly.

Then she answered with a shy expression:

“He’s someone from the temple I know.”

‘From the temple? Do you mean that he’s a priest?’

Judging from the atmosphere it gives off, it didn’t seem like that, and people just accepted it in the sense that they don’t want to go into detail.

“It seems that Miss Labyrinth has finally given up.”

“I thought so too. If it can’t be fixed, it’s better to give up.”

“That’s right.”

“More than that, Miss Puritina really has no concept. Anyone who knows grace shouldn’t be like that.”

The young girls constantly murmured over the four of them.

While they were diligently deducing the identity of the handsome blonde man, they quivered, arguing that Labyrinth and Essit, who had been engaged for a long time, were breaking up.

Tea party, prom, charity party, etc. Everywhere Duval went, Ciela did not serve him, so he went directly to the Labyrinth mansion.

But Ciela did not meet him.

To be more precise, her exclusive maid, May, said, ‘Who is the one that is sick?’

Duval’s anger rose to the top, but he couldn’t help it. He was so hot-tempered that he stomped his feet.

Then, in a famous boutique, an encounter with a lion that no one could have imagined took place.
